What a 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.680 weekend it is. Charlie twenty so I know he would be. 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.800 It's February twenty third, twenty twenty six. Apparently there's a 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.480 blizzard going on on the East coast, not here in Phoenix, 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.000 but we'll find out State of Union is tomorrow and 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.840 I'm planning on traveling there if the flights allow. If not, 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.319 you'll see me here tomorrow. But what a weekend for 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:36.040 American sports and Olympic We weren't debating whether or not 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:40.200 the men's team winning US gold for the US against 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:44.000 Canada was a top ten American sports moment, and I 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:44.440 think it is. 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:46.039 I kind of feel like it has to be. 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.280 It's it's not as big as the Miracle on Ice 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:53.320 for a few reasons, but it comes close and it 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.000 it sort of captures the spirit of it. 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.080 You think I saw a good take that was. 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:03.240 In we defeated Soviet Communism, and this time we defeated 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:06.520 basically the twenty twenty six version of Soviet Communism, which 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.240 is basically. 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:12.880 Hyper gay, hyper wokeism. 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:14.639 I was when Canada's gone all in. 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.040 On being I would venture to guess that Canadian wokeism 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.080 as is as large an existential threat, if not bigger, 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:22.920 to our way of life and to the survival of 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.880 Western civilization as Soviet communism. 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.760 Survival quite literally given their love of assistant suicide. 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.680 Yes, euthanasia, the euthanasia country. But it was a beautiful moment. 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:35.799 I would just let's just go through some of these 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.560 clips because we A new star has been born, Jack Hughes. 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.640 And this was the clip that when I I was 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:44.840 busy with family yesterday, so I was only like half 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.280 checked in and this clip came across the wire immediately, 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:52.840 and I was just filled with patriotism at Jack Hughes 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.400 in the way he handled this moment two thirty five. 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:57.240 It's all about our country right now. 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:03.000 I love the USA, my teammates, that's unbelievable, the US 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.440 or hockey brotherhood. It's so strong, and we had so 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:10.440 much support. Next players, I'm so proud to be American today. 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.120 So proud to be American today. He said, you know, 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.280 that's a great Canadian team over there, but this is 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.480 American hockey. We did this for the country. And it 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.240 was just like we've seen so many bad clips and 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.960 bad interviews from this Olympics, from woke athletes, skaters that 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.920 can't win gold and that fall sorry rooting against you, 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.800 was happy you fell. Sorry, just how I feel. But 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.680 then we saw so many good stories, right like Alyssa 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.600 Lou who may may be a liberal, maybe woke, but 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.920 she didn't disrespect us on the national stage and for 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.280 that we salute her and she won gold, and then 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.600 you get this moment. It was just and by the way, 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.360 we had more medals, more gold medals than we'd had 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.800 since two thousand and two. At the Salt Lake City game, 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:53.880 we had the most medals we'd ever had. 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:55.840 I think before we move on to anything else, we 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.360 should actually get the moment itself, which is the yeah, 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.160 let's go score the golden goal, which is so just context. 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.600 For those who didn't watch the game, it was very 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:05.520 tight the whole game. 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:06.560 It was one to one. 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.360 I would say, actually, clearly Canada is the stronger team, 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:12.560 way more shots on goal. 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:14.640 We had some really great ones. 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.119 There was a Canadian player misses a wide open shot 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.080 at I don't know, five feet away. If that, there 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.000 was another one where it would have gone in and 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:27.159 just freak deflected off the goalie's stick, the goalie and 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.680 the goalie was amazing. And then I'm told this is 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.760 the clip, this is in overtime sudden death. That's one 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.240 of the best things about hockey, pure sudden death. When 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.680 you get into the finale and. 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.719 I'm told, uh, let's show. 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.400 It's only it's only two forty four, and it's only 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.479 the or two forty three, but we only have it 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:44.920 as b roll. 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.160 Unfortunately, that's fine. Throw it up, Yeah, throw it up. 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:47.960 We'll narrate. 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.520 And he's taking it down. They have it three on 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:56.320 three in overtime. Jack hues back and it's great. I 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.320 really love the Canadian announcer. He's very crestfallen. 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.359 Yeah, of course. Well you know it's great though, is 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.840 that Jack Hughes had actually got a high stick penalty 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.120 against him, loses a couple of teeth, so he's all bloody, 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.720 his mouth's just and then he goes on to score 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.320 the winning goal and his brother's on the team. At 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:16.200 another little known fact here, his mom was actually a 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.280 coach for the women's team that also won gold. 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:18.960 Oh, it's amazing. 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.760 So the Hughes family won three gold medals from this Olympics, 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:24.120 which is just phenomenal. 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.760 Several family affairs because I think we also had the 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.040 Kachuck brothers, Matthew and Brady. 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.640 I think they were on the team as well, so 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:33.160 we have some great clips. 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.560 In fact, speaking of the him getting his teeth mangled, 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.400 Jack Hughes had that to say after the game two 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:40.080 thirty nine. 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:41.080 I'm lucky. 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:42.800 I'm from the best country in the world, and we 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:43.440 got great. 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.719 Dentists there too, so. 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.240 I'm lucky I'm American and they're going to fix me 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:47.680 right up. 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:53.640 It's just so good anyways, So this is just one 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.880 of the proudest moments, and then I want to address 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.839 because it's just so annoying. Well actuallytually one other good 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:05.840 note here first. So one of the players, Johnny Gudroau, 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.880 had was killed in a drunk driving accident in twenty 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.800 twenty four, and they welcomed his kids out for the 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.839 group picture. And I'm just I'm gonna be really honest, 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.440 I got emotional watching this because they honored the widow, 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:23.599 they honored the children, and my heart was instantly thinking 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.480 about Erica and Charlie and their kids. And it was 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:27.840 a beauty. I think we have an image of this 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:29.640 if you guys can throw it up there. It was 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.279 just wonderful when that happened. It actually kind of became 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.600 a mainstream news story. I think uh. 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.600 Jd Vance said something about it at the time. 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:40.520 It was during the election season. Yeah, super popular player. 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:44.560 They called him mister Hockey. I think they Hockey Johnny Hockey, 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.680 huge ambassador for the game. And then just he and 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.640 his brother killed by a drunk driver, which never should happened. 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.640 Out but they honored his kids. They brought him out 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:58.919 for the picture. It was actually his son, Johnny Junior's birthday. 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.160 It was the two hundred and ninety eighth birthday of 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.840 George Washington and it's obviously America two fifty. So there 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.600 was just I mean, we were gonna win, guys, there 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.160 was no chance. That's how I look at it. But honestly, 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.080 just a beautiful, beautiful, touching moment. And then onto the 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.560 annoying part. So Cash Hotel and I don't know, Blake 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.760 might feel differently than this, I understand. I understand both 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:24.840 sides here. But Cash Battel is over there apparently on 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.520 another official business doing OPSEC. He's got meetings, has planned 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:32.400 well in advance, according to his team. But he's a 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:36.400 hockey player and he's a huge hockey fan. They invite 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.400 him down into the locker room afterwards, and he's I mean, 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.360 he's living it up. It's like the best moment. And 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.679 by the way, we were all cash Hotel. In that moment, 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:49.600 I was feeling complete joy and pride for our nation. 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.800 And so Cash is back there, he's drinking a beer 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.200 and here's my thing. So people the left especially is 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.480 outraged at this. Some people on the right are outraged 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:00.720 about it. They don't think he's doing enough good. Well, listen, 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.360 like the crime rate and the murder rate is at 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.640 the lowest it's been. There are wins on the board. 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.320 I get it. You want more. We all want more. 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.080 But Cash in this moment was just like one of us. 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:14.600 He was just an American celebrating an amazing, amazing victory. 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.120 And here's my take. Those guys invited him to be 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.480 with them. They loved it. Look at him, they're all 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.880 jumping up and down. They called him down, And if 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.400 it was good enough for them, it's good enough for me, 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.200 and I have no problem with it. Let him celebrate 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:28.480 the way they want to celebrate. 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.560 It's weird for an FBI director to be doing that, I. 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:36.000 Agree, But guess what, it's weird. You know that President 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.079 Trump sends out truth the way he does. It's weird. 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.760 A lot of things are abnormal. It's weird that Gavin 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.240 Newsom is trying to relate to black people by saying 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.160 he has a low say. All I would say is 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:46.000 it's a lot of weird. 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:51.720 If James Comey in twenty when he was FBI director, 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:56.319 or any if Merrick Garland had been at an Olympic 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.640 game in twenty twenty two and was jumping around like that. 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:06.280 Hard pass, hard disagree. James Comy is not a hockey player. 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.840 Cash Betel is a hockey player, big, huge hockey fan. 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.320 He was there, He facetimed the president. They got invited 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.600 to the State of the Union. It was a beautiful moment. 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.800 I think, listen to all the haters out there, it 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.439 must be a miserable existence, like constantly being upset all 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.760 the time. This was a beautiful win, beautiful for the country. 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.679 Let him celebrate. The guys loved it. They're patriots, they 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:27.920 handled themselves well, made the nation prep. I want to 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.120 tell you, or actually want to play for you. One 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.600 clip from Charlie about the Olympics. Charlie loved the Olympics. 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.680 Often when the Olympics were on, we were just constantly 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.400 talking about it, and we've tried to do him justice 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.560 and talk about the Olympics that have been going on. 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:44.560 This is a great clip through twenty. 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.080 Seven, the moment you put on the Team USA jersey. 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:51.920 It is about duty, responsibility, obligation to the nation, and victory. 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.360 And he goes on to talk about one clip that 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.679 the audio sinking was kind off, so we didn't play it, 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:01.319 but he was saying, this is peaceful political combat. That's 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.400 why you have USA on your jersey, and I love that. 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.360 It's a really great way to frame everything that's going on. 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.440 Yeah, although I really I want I wish we had him. 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.480 To get his take on like the Eileen Goo thing, 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.720 for an example, peace of geopolitical combat between countries, all 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.160 of whose athletes just grew up in the United States. 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.960 Wow.

Check it out right now. 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.720 All right, there is more international news that we have 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.800 to get to, but basically, all hell broke loose in Mexico. 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.920 Here's here's the deal. They killed a massive kingpin and 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:19.640 of all the cartels, his name is Elmentcho. But of 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:23.560 all the cartels, it was the Cartel Jalisco New Generation 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:28.959 or Nuevo Heneracion or whatever. So the cj NG cartel, 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.400 which is I feel like there's a new cartel. Ever 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:36.120 the car this cartel has existed with basic impunity in 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:39.520 Mexico for years. And I thought this was really important 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.560 because this morning President Trump is, you know, honoring the 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:46.719 angel families. He's bringing up the mother of uh. He's 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.120 bringing up the mother of Lincoln Riley, who was killed 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.600 at the hands of an illegal immigrant. And here meanwhile, 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.480 we've got this whole fight going on in Washington where 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.760 they're trying to defund DHS, which is the agency that 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:03.720 he is safe, that which under you know ices under Listen, 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.040 you could make an argument that DHS shouldn't have been 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.200 consolidated into one agency. 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.920 No, which it's just they're trying to defund the organization 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.280 that plays on the frontline of making it so a 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.960 US city does not look like Porto Biarta. Yes, they 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.120 are trying to defund the agency that keeps every one 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.240 of those cartel members, which if you watch those clips, 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:27.480 they have assault weapons, they have armored vehicles, they have 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:31.320 heavy explosives. That is what happens when you have a 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:35.920 full blown cartel narco state operating with impunity. And that 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.520 is there's nothing about destiny that keeps America from being 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.840 like that. We are not like that because we have 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.520 different people, different laws, different values. And if you change 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:49.960 the situation, if we are just Mexico, we'll have the 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:50.440 same thing. 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:55.240 Borders are where bad ideas, bad policy, bad governance end, 0:14:55.360 --> 0:15:00.080 and good ideas, good governance and good policy begins. If 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.880 we have the courage of our own sovereignty, if we 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.040 have the courage of our own convictions, and we are 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.000 proud to be Americans and say our ideas are better, 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:11.320 our foundation is better. I'm not saying Mexicans are bad people. 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.600 Some I suppose they're good people, as President Trump once said. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.880 But the point is our country and our civilization is 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.320 more successful for a reason, and we cannot allow those 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.840 cartel factions and forces to cross over the border and 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.560 infect our country, which they did under President Joe Biden. 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.280 There are currently cartel members existing in all fifty states. 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.760 This isn't just like a border region thing. This is 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.480 all across the country. And I have a theory on 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.520 this why we saw this now ELMENTA was taken out 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:46.479 by the Mexican military, but it was done in coordination 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:51.200 with US intelligence, so we were providing intel about where 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:54.040 this guy was. It was also very interesting that he 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.840 died in transit, so they there was a shootout and 0:15:57.920 --> 0:15:59.760 through him along with two others, so three of them 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.640 died in transit. I think they made a very I 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:04.960 think they made a conscious decision to make sure that 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.040 he was not able to exist alive, because then he 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.200 would have been a target for an assault on the prison. 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:12.720 He was at I think they killed him in air, 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.360 That's what I think, or at least refused to resuscitate him. 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.800 But whatever, that's speculation. I also think that they chose 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:22.720 to do this after a year of President Trump's deportation 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.560 efforts getting some of these bad own breads out, because 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.080 you got to get these cartel factions that exist within 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.400 the United States at least cowed. You have to put 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:34.200 them on the defense, right, And so this is what's interesting. 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.240 President Trump's policies are making their life a living hell. 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.760 Let's go to two fifty eight. This was from September 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.600 twenty twenty five. CNN interviewed one of them and asked 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:43.760 them this two fifty eight. 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:47.440 Think what President Trump has been doing has been making 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:52.520 your job tougher? Oh yeah, yes, but it's becoming more difficult, 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:52.840 you think. 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.360 And President Trump is on record stating the case very plainly. 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:58.080 Two fifty four. 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.760 We are going to start now hitting that land. With 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:06.600 regard to the cartels. The cartels are running Mexico. It's 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.960 very very sad to watch and see what's happened to 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.399 that country. But the cartels are running and they're killing 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.520 two hundred and fifty three hundred thousand people in our 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:18.840 country every single year. The drugs. It's horrible. It's devastated. 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:22.320 Families lose a child or a parent. I mean parents 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:23.920 are dying too with drugs. 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:28.440 So Cartel Jalisco New Generation was famous for a couple 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.720 of things still are. They have armored vehicles, they have 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.520 rocket launchers. I mean, this is a complete paramilitary organization, 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:36.960 and they just decided, hey, you're gonna kill our leader. 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:38.520 We're going to make your life a living hell all 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:42.600 over the country. They're famous for fentanyl, running cocaine. They're 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:48.520 also famous for things like fraud with timeshares. So actually 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:53.359 the Treasury Department just sanctioned a Mexican timeshare company that 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:57.680 was part of which was run by this cartel. They're 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.639 famous for ripping off senior citizens that are vay vacationing 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.920 there American seeders, senior citizens, and then of course smuggling 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:09.080 of humans. So this is a really nasty cartel that 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:14.600 was a essentially they lifted up this Elemento as their 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.440 pre eminent leader, right, it was a cult of personality. 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.919 So for them to lose this guy would be extraordinarily destabilizing. 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.679 So that's my theory is that the Mexican government. The 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:26.680 President Trump has been putting the screws to the Mexican 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.159 government to get them to act. They finally did it 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:34.800 after a year with our help and involvement. All right, 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:38.600 without further ado. Steve das host of the Steve Days 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.359 Show on Blaze TV, Welcome back to the show, my friend. 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:42.160 It's good to have you. 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:43.000 Good to see you too. 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:46.720 How are you doing great? So, Steve, you had this 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:50.919 great tweet and you were talking. I mean, we can 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:52.640 put it up on screen if you wants a little 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:55.600 bit long three thirteen. So I just want to pull 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.800 some threads from here. You're saying, you're a child of 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.440 the eighties. You detested, you cheer. You know, if you 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.440 woke up and if if we woke up this morning 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:08.600 and Masad took them out. Basically, however, we were told 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:10.920 that they were taken care of, that this was already done, 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:13.919 and now we're gearing up for another another invasion here 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.680 it looks like could be more kinetic activity. And you 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:18.800 you start to I felt like you were you were 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:22.320 channeling your your inner Charlie where you're saying, we don't 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.640 we hate the brain raw of anti Semitism, but like 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.840 for a moment, put yourself in their shoes and try 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.520 and understand where they're coming from, try and make sense 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:34.800 of this, the the their counter theories and this all 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:36.760 of the I thought you put it beautifully, So please 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.680 check out this tweet from Steve. You put it much 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.280 more eloquently than I have just now. But break it 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:43.760 down your big idea here, Steve, and why you're trying, 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.040 why why you felt was important that you put this out. 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:48.880 Well, I mean, some of this is exactly where Charlie 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:50.600 and I texted each other last June, the night that 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:54.760 we bombed Ron the first time. And generationally I'm gonna 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:59.120 be way more jingoistic about let's make iron the Iranian 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:03.960 regime assume temperature. But I also understand the tension. I 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:07.280 have a son in law that's enlisted right now. He 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:10.520 was told by his unit two years ago that if 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:12.200 Joe Biden won, they were all just going to go 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:14.600 over to Syria for two years for reasons. 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:16.920 And so I'm very sense. 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.919 I mean, that was basically it for reasons, you know, 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:23.359 And so I'm sensitive to this in that what is 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:26.120 the point of what we are doing here? And have 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:28.960 we explained it? And hey, listen, I was the guy 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.520
